Bryant Park

Hey everyone,

I am back, coming off a little of a busy week I mostly worked events and was in the office one day. The biggest event I work was the closing of Broadway at Bryant Park, and I was working with 106.7LITEFM. Bryant Park is located inNew York City; it is a pretty big park where they have summer events. AndLITEFM was there every Thursday for six weeks and they do this every year.

This event was called Broadway at Bryant Park because they had a few plays from Broadway come every week and do some of their acts. A lot of the times it was one or two songs but every one that came out enjoyed the shows. You even had some people that came out for all six weeks.

At these events we just hadLITEFM tents set up in the park with had some handouts and giveaways. And this was the way we promoted the stations and also the event. The handouts that we gave out had the stations name on it and also a list of all the events that where going on in Bryant Park. We also take pictures while we are at these events. And also being part of the street team at these events we had to help out the sponsors because they are a big reason why the event can run. When we help the sponsors it can be as little as helping set their tent up or even just helping them with their handouts.

As you can see it is a lot that can happen at these events, especially when it is a big one like Broadway at Bryant. This was suppose to be my last week at the internship but I wanted to stay an extra week. So I will be coming back to you with one more post and I will try and get you pictures of my experience at Clear Channel Radio.

Til next time…..

Big Meeting

Hey everyone,

I am back I know it took me awhile to get back to you, but I had a little difficulty getting to a computer for a few days. I know in my last post I told you I was having a meeting with Director of Marking. And like I promise I am here to tell you about it, I must say I was a little nervous about the meeting at first. But everything went well and I was able to see he really enjoys his job.

He let me know in the beginning that the reason for the meeting was to get to know the interns in a one on one setting. He wanted to know how we found and felt about the internship. Throughout the whole meeting he threw out a lot of question, but it wasn’t like a interview. He really wanted to see what I had planned for the future and I did not mine answering those questions.

After he ask me all the questions he gave me that opportunity to ask him a few questions. I found out that he started in the promotions and marketing department like me and worked his way up. He said he found something he loved and stuck with it, they offered him a full time job in the promotions and marketing department and took it. But because he took the job he did not finish college, that was a tough decision but after that he knew he definitely had to say focus to move up.

I the meeting went well and I left it feeling positive about everything. He also said at the end of the meeting if I ever needed anything that I could contract him. I know a lot of people say that but they do not mean it, but from our conversation I see he meant it.

Til next time…….

More Events….

Hey everyone,

I am back to tell you about another week, as the summer is slowly coming to a end it seems like the more and more events we have. We just finish having a staff meeting and was told for the month of August some people might do two events a day. That is how busy it is getting everyone wants to end the summer off with a bang. But I do not mind that because we do have fun at these events. For the most part we give away gifts bags , interact with people and provide them with music from the station. And when we are on these events that one of our ways of promoting the stations too.

And on top of all the events the stations are giving away more prizes too. And that always keeps us busy on the office side of things. In the office is where we make phones and let people know that prize or tickets for a concert is ready for pick. And I must say some of these phones calls I make are very interesting, a lot of do not believe that I work for the station they thing it is a joke. But I haven’t had anyone hang up on me yet so that is a good thing.

Coming soon I have a one on one meeting with the Director of Marking, he wanted to meet with the internship before leave. So I will make sure I let you know how that good and I already have some questions that I want to ask him, wish me luck. The next time you heard from me will be after my meeting with him.

Til next time…..

BB Kings

Hey everyone,

 

I am back again I am still enjoying theNew Yorklife style and the internship. As the summer is heating up and getting hotter and hotter the more events there are to work in the tri-state area. But I have no problem with that because it is keeping me busy for the summer and I am learning a lot.

 

I had the opportunity to work at BB Kings which is in the city; it is almost in the heart of time square. If you want to visit the city time square should be your first stops and you will see why they say it is the city that never sleeps. All you will see are the many bright lights around and it is like that all the time.

 

The event at BB Kings was my first night event, when I got there at 8:00pm the bright lights were on and at 2:00am when I left they where still on. To me it gets no better than that. Also while work the event I was able to see Olivia and Miguel two R&B singers. They were performing at BB Kings that night.  It was a pretty late night but I had fun.

Til next time….
